That wasn't apparent in Game 1 on Thursday, when the Detroit Red Wings registered only 23 shots on goal, just four shots during five power plays.

They have had two days to make adjustments heading into Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinal series Sunday at HP Pavilion. And the Red Wings, who averaged 37 shots per game in the first round against Phoenix, know they must make goaltender Evgeni Nabokov work harder.

"You got to give them a lot of credit. They did a good job of cutting off the (point shots) on us," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "I didn't think we were near hard enough on Nabokov."

The Red Wings were somewhat satisfied with their shot attempts. They had 22 missed shots and another 21 that were blocked by the Sharks.

"I think we can do an even better job of that, get guys to the net and get the puck there and somehow there's going to be a bounce or two," defenseman Niklas Kronwall said.

The Sharks are allowing only 23 shots per game in regulation during the playoffs. But they realize the Red Wings are far more potent than their first-round foe, Colorado.

San Jose coach Todd McLellan isn't counting on being able to limit Detroit's power play to so few opportunities.

"I don't know if we'll be able to continue that because they are skilled," McLellan said. "But we did a good job of breaking them down on the entry. And after that, our goaltender made some saves and didn't give up many rebounds on the power-play situations."

The Red Wings have no power-play goals in three of their past four games, going 0-for-16. In the other one, Game 7 vs. Phoenix, they were 3-for-6.

"I thought they were doing a good job on their blue line, standing up, putting pressure on us," Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom said. "We didn't really get set up on every power play. They were forcing it real well and not giving us any time with the puck."
